Olive and the Bitter Herbs

Caught Charles Busch's latest work last night...

Olive and the Bitter Herbs... at Primary Stages.

Busch's light comedy hits the comic palette as a tasty little rugelach more than a full bodied babka... Bearing that in mind, you will enjoy this sweet treat!

Julie Halston takes the cake as gentile caretaker Wendy...

Dan Butler, David Garrison were perfect as a longtime spicy gay couple... and Richard Masur, as bachelor Senior, was perfectly soothing as a farfalle comfort dish...

Olive, played by Marcia Jean Kurtz was our half-sour pickle of the night served center stage of this New York comedy reminiscent of early Neil Simon's slice of life works, with added Busch driven fanciful plot stretches and outrageous surprises, of course...

Audience at 59 E 59 seemed to thoroughly enjoy the show, and especially the references to American Jewish culture...

Theater-goers especially reacted to the delicious work of Ms Halston. On her final scene exit, Halston got the most hearty hand of the night and the most fulfilling laughs...

This well sold run proves there is clearly a mainstream audience for new Busch works.

Converse Bag Launch

To mark the launch of their new bags and accessories range, Converse invited a few experts on style and self expression to customise some of the range with a nod to the phrase ‘back to school’. I was fortunate enough to collaborate on one of the bags with the very vocal and self expressive Chantelle Fiddy, the journalist and renowned commentator on the London grime scene. Miss Fiddy’s music credentials span from editing titles including Ctrl.Alt.Shift, RWD Magazine, Mixmag and Live, to working with the likes of Dazed & Confused, Sunday Times Style, and Guardian, and as a presenter on Channel 4’s ‘Generation Next’.

Here you can see us posing with our creation on a photo shoot organised by the lovely people from Coffin on Cake PR. I’m the not so pretty one on the right. To see more customised bags and their colourful creators check out the article ‘How to Work Your School Bag’ at Cooler. And mine and Chan’s creation is also featured the FHM article, ‘Converse Duffle Bags (graffiti not included)’, as well as in Fused Magazine.

For my part of the collaboration I took elements that were pertinent to Chan from her school days and reinterpreted them in a tattoo-style design, painted directly onto the canvas bag. I know that she is into fonts and the colour pink so this provided the background details. And for the main section I incorporated a heart and the crossed guns symbolism from the happy hardcore days whilst defusing the negative aspect of gun culture by having images of Chan’s favourite flowers emerging from the barrels – a reference stolen from the Peace Movement of the 60’s (check out Bernie Boston’s iconic Flower Power photo, taken during the last big march on the Pentagon in October 1967). And in keeping with old school tattoo designs (my dad was a tattooist) I tied it all together with a scroll which I left blank, ready for Chantelle to add the finishing touches.

And here is the finished product, complete with badges and text – ‘Fire What You Got’.

MASSIVE PRICE DROPS! LA NOIRE, CRYSIS 2 AND MORE!

This Final Full Week of Summer 2011

All is fine here in Hell's Kitchen the mornings after the Hurricane Irene weekend...

It will take all the city systems another a day or two to get fully up to speed after last weekend's precautionary shutdowns...

And the full speed of the city, in the last days of August, are typically lazy and slow motion kinds of days anyway...

Labor Day, next Monday, looms large. Especially for students and teachers who must wrap up their summer vacations over this next week...

I plan to enjoy and maximize each vacation day fully til there aren't any more vacation days... A day at a time...

1. John had $700 in his bank. With this money, he donated $4 a day to charity. His sister, Mary, too donated 1/5 of her $5 daily allowance to the charity and she saved the rest. If both of them started the donation drive on the same day, how long would it be before John had 2/3 as much money as the amount Mary saved?

2. Mrs Lim’s son helped her to type the page numbers of her new story book. He noticed that different pages required different numbers of digits. He counted that there were a total of 675 digits. How many pages were there in the story book?

3. Citrine bought twice as many pencils as notebooks and spent a total of $53.60. She spent $2.40 more on the notebooks than the pencils. Given that a notebook costs $1.90 more than a pencil, find the cost of a pencil.

4. Candle A and candle B are of the same length. Candle A , which is broader, can burn for 5 h while Candle B, the thinner candle , can burn for 4 h. If both candles are lighted at the same time, how long does it take for Candle A to be twice as long left as Candle B?

Tree of Life Tattoo Designs For Women

Tree of Life Tattoo Designs For Women
many Tree of Life tattoo designs are in the shape of a circle or oval. The trunk of the tree is in the center of the design, while the branches bow downward and the roots curl upward to form the overall shape. Because there are so many Tree of Life images and stories worldwide, there really is no wrong way to do a Tree of Life design. Branches, trunk, roots. Everything else is up to the artist.

Snakes Tattoo Designs

Snakes Tattoo Designs
The snake is one of the most iconic images in tattooing both in modern and ancient cultures alike, and as such snake tattoos have been quite popular for many decades.
Snakes were depicted in art long before humans even had a written word, so it is no wonder that they remain such a fascinating form of art today.
